in this case the prosecution's theory is george zimmerman racially profiled trayvon martin and reacted to him and behaved the way he did because he was african-american. so having a white set of jurors, more likely to identify the theory that they're more likely to identify with george zimmerman. that is true. mark is right about. that the race factor alone does play in his favor. i disagree little bit with mark about the mother issue. i think it can play in the prosecution's favor, but what worries me the most is the kentucky challenge, that's what mark was referring to, what a prosecutor or defense attorney has excused someone, a number of jurors on a given race and the other side can say, hey, that wasn't fair. it was a race-based excusal. they can put the jurors back on. message can be damaging to the prosecution. not only do those juror know and somehow it was improper to excuse them. the rest of the jury knows, too. so the prosecution starts out with this taint of having doing something proper. the jury knows it. >> that's exactly what's going to happen. >> how long do you see th

here's terrell brown. >> reporter: george zimmerman maintains he shot trayvon martin, an unarmed black teen, in self defense. critical evidence is a series of 911 calls made by residents of the suburban orlando gated community where the fatal encounter occurred. neighbors called 911 while zimmerman and martin were struggling outside in the dark. a recording of the first call captured screams in the background. a few seconds later, there was another scream. ( gunshot ) >> reporter: one gunshot by zimmerman, and martin was killed. prosecutors said in a pretrial hearing those screams were from martin, and audio experts could prove it. the defense disputed that; zimmerman's father said it was his son screaming. today, judge debra nelson ruled a jury may hear the 911 calls but no expert testimony identifying the voices. the judge found their techniques not reliable and said comparing screams to normal speech is not possible. >> so, they're going to leave it to the jury to basically make the determination as to who was crying for help. >> reporter: luis calderone is a florida criminal defens
